Question
[122]. Read the following passage carefully and answer the question.
Passage: Success flatters us; failure examines us. When a plan succeeds, we rarely ask which part of it worked and which part was luck, and we repeat the whole plan unchanged. When a plan fails, we are forced to separate causes: was the idea wrong, the timing wrong, the preparation thin, or the execution careless? That separation is learning. Great inventors, athletes and teachers all describe the same pattern: a failed attempt, honestly reviewed, teaches more than an easy victory because it exposes a specific weakness that can be repaired. Failure, however, teaches only those willing to review it. Blamed on others or hidden in shame, it teaches nothing. Faced squarely, it becomes the most honest teacher a student can have.
